AFRICA NEEDS INVESTMENT EDUCATION
Africa is a rich continent. We have all it requires to develop.
Development is in the mind and not in resources. If resources could bring about development, then Africa could be so rich by now.
One day, I was given a story of Kitale-Kisumu Highway. I was told how the rich soil that was removed from the road as waste is the rich soil in Israel.
As we see construction on our Kenyan roads, the soil is discarded as of no use. But the Israelites realised the same can be used to agriculture on the rocky hills. They therefore lifted the soil by air back home instead of heaping it on the roadside as we see it currently.
When South Africa was under white colonialism, the country rose to 2nd World state. The only 2nd World country at that time.
When the same South African was freed by black Africans, it fell back to 3rd World. Where were the colonialist presidents who were also the South Americans getting resources to raise the country status?
Let's all see the potential we have with the little resources that seem little in our eyes.
